Mr.. Ralph Thwing met with quite
an accident last Tuesday. While
drawing hay, his team took fright and
ran sway, throwing Mr.. ThWing and
his nephew OF the load. Mr.. ThWing
fell under the wheels and received
some painful bruises, but his eOmpan-
ion escaped injury. The animals were
caught soon nfierward, but later In
the day they ran away again this
time with the nephew and Mr. Blair

not like to draw hay.

/ have no doubt that half a million of
the million and n half gypsies we now
have among us are what are known
among the Romany as drom gypsies-
that is, gypsies of the road; gypsies whose
heritage of patriarchal and pilgriming
tradition will no more permit them to
herd in towns, save out of necessity, thm
will foxes. OF these, as l have previ-
ously stated in print, I have names and
addresses of nearly 1 1000 heads of fami-
lies, or petty tribes, whose combined
wealth exceeds 5000, 900, 900. Hosts
aside from these nave gained or are
securing little properties. These largely
consist of fine farms, country tavern
stands, toll gate privileges, tracts of wood
land of which they are very fond, livery
sales stables in the smaller towns and
villages, and, not infrequently, extensive
town properties, particularly the larger
sales stables in metropolitan cities.
Thousands upon thousands are able to
live comfortably without effort upon
rentals and other incomes. But they are
never idle, and neve fail of passing some
portion of each summer upon the road.
Their tradings, or preparations for trad
ing, never cease; nor does their fortune
telling, for the wife of a gypsy worth

We caution our readers to put no re-
lance in stories about meteors which
come very near those who were startled
by them. We were fooled once, about
thirty years ago, by one of these brilliant
wanderers in space. 1t passed right over
the Litchfield fair grounds, apparently,
and struck the earth oven on Chestnut
hill. We were so fully convinced that
it buried itself in Litchfield soil that we
cogitated upon the ~advisability of going
over to unearth the thing.

when we reported the matter on our ar
rival home, lit was more likely hundreds
of miles away" at can't be, father, -

said he should think it passed over John

farther down than the fair grounds.
Why, father, we heard It'll"

Extinct Volcano In Connecticut.

The recent discovery of the remains OF
q volcano near Mount ~Larcentation, the
highest peak in the chain of Meriden
hills, has excited the keenest interest in
scientific circles. 1t has furnished n new
key to the geological history Of the Con-
necticut valley. The discovery was made
by Professor w. n. Davis, of Harvard
university. He has been engaged in
making an exhaustive study of the trap
rock of this state, and he made his happy
discovery of volcanic ruins while search
ing for an entirely different GLASS of geo
logical phenomena.
Mount Lamentation has been visited
by large numbers of people during the
past few weeks. The various scientific
associations of the state, and several
biologists of national repute, have care
fully examined the interesting curiosity.
No volcanic cone or crater is still visible,
but the phenomena OF the place clearly
indicate that in the triassic age violent
explosive eruptions of n regular volcanic
type were frequent. Biologists have long
known that the trap rock of the Connect
icut valley came up in n molten condition
and afterward solidified. This liquid
mass sometimes solidified in assures in
the earth and sometimes overlooked the
surface like ava streams, and was subse-
quentiy covered up by a strata of sand
stone
Professor Davis has discovered what is
technically known as an ash bed. 1t is a
deposit formed when molten lava is
thrown high into the air by violent ex-
plosions, and comes down il a confused
mass, coarse and fine. In the triassic
period when these eruptions occurred
there must have been regular cones and
craters of the usual type, but these nave
all been effaced. 1t is very probable that
other ash beds may exist in the range of
Meriden hills. The geological history of
this region has always afforded a rich
field for scientific research, and the re-
cent volcanic discovery has given a
greater scientific boom TO it.-Middletown

1 did the continent of Europe in ex-
actly three weeks, spending no more than
three days at the most interesting points.
In four months l saw all that l could
have seen in eight months. Travelling as
l did was very expensive, and l have
figured it out that for what it cost me in
four months could, if l had taken things
quietly and slowly, have remained over
there for ten months. Travelling on the
wing, as it were, a man naturally goes to
some one of the famous hotels, as his
stay will be brief. If he had time he
would hunt up a quiet and good
eating house, and take in a city slowly,
dispensing for the most part with high
priced guides and other unnecessary ex-
penses. The American tourist is the best
game found in the nets of the Europeans,
mainly on account of his rapid system

There is a lower grade of intelligence
in the common people in Russia han was
ever found among the blacks of America
during slavery. The American negro
had from the very beginning a natural
''horse sense" a cunning which gave
him reason. There is nothing in the
minds of the mass of Russians except that
which is carried by the senses of sight
and hearing. They do not reason. In
st. Petersburg there are thousands of
drosky (carriage) drivers, and l am told
that not one in twenty n read the signs
along the streets, and not two in five
hundred can read a book or newspaper.
And yet these men have had, for Rus
slams, extraordinary opportunities. What,
then, must be the condition of the people
in the country-those who ave not had
contact with the world?
The proportion of these ignorant peo-
pie to the intelligent and educated is
about 60 per cent. OF the 100, 900, 900
population in Russia about 60, 900, 900

AtypIcal example of California farm
ing is illustrated by the Huffman ranch.
1t Is magnificent property devoted to
wheat and barley, surrounding the town
of MERGED, and extending over 20, 900
acres. When the blowing season

and machinery of the latest invention, per-
forming the feat Of blowing sixty acres a
day. When harvest draws near. q new
kind Of string darkens the horizon.
1t Is the combined harvester, a Califor-
mia invention, u sort of travelling magi-
clan, and two of these ~mechanisms being
set to work will perform wonders. Each
n will cut, thresh and sack about fifty
acres per day, with the aid of about five
men and thirty mules accomplishing the
work that formerly required forty men.
Marvellous Improvements are constantly
in progress, and neXt summer steam is to
supplant mule power, while the grand
canal, in process of construction for the
last four years, will then be completed,
thus supplying irrigation for 900, 900
acres. The ultimate design of the
owners, Crocker and Huffman, is to cut
the ranch up into small farms and make
it a land of homes Ella Sterling Cum

We had a great excitement one after
noon in the baZar-a fight between
Wocdville's and Boulnois' horses-which
nearly ended disastrously for the former.
1t is the great drawback to Moorish
horses, their propensity to fight. 1t was
a fearful sight to see the beasts paving
n another in the air and in the narrow,
crowded bazar, where no one could APP
proach to stop hem. However, almost
miraculously it seemed, it ended without
loss of life. 1t was amusing, riding
through the streets, 10 hear the curses
which little boys, and sometimes even
grown men. used to heap upon our
heads. May Allah burn your grand
father and grandmother they used to
say; but somehow we thought that these
reiterated prayers to Allah for this pur-
pose could not nave much effect, so we
used only to laugh at them.
Now and then. though, a Moor got his
ears well boxed for it by our soldiers,
and oil one occasion by one of us, when
a strong young European might have
been seen seated on the PROSTATE body Of
a shereef, and saying in perfect Arabic:

1 N shot a boar. paralyzing his hind
quarters without killing him. / had
been having good sport, and had only
two or three bullets left. With the pros
pect of still needing these l did not like
to waste a ball on an animal unable to
move, and thought of getting down to
dispatch him with my knife.
Stop said the mahout, when he
learned my intention, THAT is quite I'M
necessary. Twill tell the elephant to kill
him."
The mahout accordingly communicated
his instructions to the elephant, who evil
IDENTIFY did not relish them. The more
the mahout urged him to advance on the
boar the more the latter showed his angry
tusks, and the more the elephant backed
away from him.
Suddenly, as the result of repeated
goading, the latter seemed to make up
his great mind. He wheeled sharply
round, backed upon the boar, got him
between his hind legs and fairly ground
him up-I heard all his bones cracking.

colored Mortar for Brick Work.

The common bricks of almost any dis
trict may be sorted SC as to produce con-
trast in tint or tone red and yellow
or cream color" This tint of the
bricks may be preserved and heightened
by using mortar of the same tone or tint.
Furnace ashes and lime will produce q
dark mortar, pounded red brick or red
tile mixed with lime will give a red tone
TO martar, and cheap mineral colors may
be added TO mortar for pointing.
The color Of mortar is sadly neglected,
as generally the same white lime and
sands are used for all tones of color in
bricks, and not infrequently white putty
mortar is used for pointing the reddest as
well as the lightest colored bricks, the
light colored work having harmony of
breadth end keeping, the red portion
being frittered and broken up by the
contrast bctwixt bricks and beds and
joints.-Buildcr and Wood Worker.

The Bonapartes are famous hosts.
Their dinners are feasts to please the
gourmand, and their guests are always
chosen with the tact and discretion that
are necessary to make any dinner a sue
cess. In Washington they are as re-
nowned for their graceful Inequalities as
in Newport, where they are always
pointed out to anxious visitors as two of
the most interesting figures to be seen
here. On the avenue they are easily to
be distinguished at a distance, for their
servants all wear the Bonaparte livery
ecru with scarlet facings-which was at
n time very well known to France.
Col. Bonaparte himself looks as little
like his famous Corsican ancestor as one
could imagine. He is n handsome man,
unusually tall, with n fine and well de-
veloped figure, and something in his high
bred face that, without resembling that
hero in the least, yet suggests the nobler
qualities of Napoleon. Not a man in
Newport the season through Is half 30
distinguished in bearing, and it is little
wonder that strangers invariably select
him from the rest as that particular char
acter whose history they long to know.
Nine. Bonaparte is a granddaughter of
Daniel Webster. To a Bostonian that is
sufficient. No more is needed to assure
him that intellectually she has nothing to
desire, and, fortunately, she has also the
gift of good looks, which in Newport
does far more for its possessor than
brains. Tall, large, and of a stately
beauty, admirably suited to the position
she occupies, she makes a most fitting
companion for her husband, and would
rule a nation as brilliantly as she presides
over her own salons. New York Mail
